Notice they address the 1A and 5A issues where there is a 3 team district, but not others. Grant dropped out of district play after this alignment was approved, and the KHSAA likely won't replace another team as the 4 seed.

The same thing happened last season in 3A District 5. Sheldon Clark dropped out leaving only 3 teams in the district. Russell was the #1 seed in the opposing district for the playoffs and they received a bye for the first round.
